The primes closer to "Zeiss look" in Minolta system are 28mm f2 and 35mm f2 but you have to be lucky to find them...

This is a shots from 35mm f2 @f2

A brilliant lens.

These from 28mm f2 RS, one of the sharpest lenses ever made.

With A900 I sold 35mm f2 and kept 28mm f2.

Is the Minolta MD 28 f2 the same optical formula as the newer AF versions?
Looks like they are all 9 elements/9 groups.
Just bought a MD 28 f2 to convert for my 1ds3 for about $200.It will keep my Minolta Rokkor 58 1.2's company, another great Minolta lens from the past.

Yes is the same formula, latest MD MF lenses (non Rokkor) and first AF series share optical formulas.:thumbup:

So who got the Minolta AF 2/28mm from the UK eBay ?
I hope it was a member so that we will see some more nice pictures from that excellent wide angle prime here on the GetDPI Sony board

Cool! Thanks for the info. This lens has a floating element good for up close focusing, so I look forward to seeing what it can do as a wide angle portrait lens. Love your B&W portrait shot with the 35 f2. :thumbup:
